ambassador susan rice. before clinton testifies a state department accountability board will release a report on those attacks in libya. the report will consider whether washington gave enough attention to potential threats and how it responded to security requests from u.s. diplomats abroad. the state department is also speaking out on north korea's missile launch calling it highly provocative and saying the country will now face international consequences. north korea's foreign ministry asked the international community not to blow the launch out of proportion. but by firing that missile the country violated two resolutions of the u.n. security council. the u.s.a. department said yesterday this will further isolate the north korean regime and further impoverish the country's people. and an nyu grad student is set up with u.s. drone strikes. he's taking it upon himself to tweet every single strike dating back ten years. he has opened the account at drone stream where you can find more than 150 tweets. each

i do know that our ambassador susan rice is qualified rhodes scholar, she is a brilliant woman, worked in the national security, within that team. she knows what she's doing, has done her job well, isen a expert and deserves a fair hearing. do not airport her. do not make it appear that she has not done her job when in fact what she was doing was her job. if the president wants to put her name forward she needs a fair hearing and she is such a well-qualified woman that i hope quite frankly that the president does put her name forward. >> eliot: if there was ever a case where the messager was being shot, she didn't write the information she put forth the c.i.a. did. senator mccain was going after her, some thought there was a personal feud. >> it's hard to imagine but senator mccain should be praising her for doing her job well especially when you have national security crisis, you want most of our officials you want everyone to be on the same page. she was on the same page, so he should be saluting her applauding her and really not providing these kind of horrible statements about her.

rice. we'll go over the cliff and come back in january with more votes in congress. democrats have more votes and republicans are in a weaker position. probably the most likely, at least the latest polls show the public would blame the republicans for this more than president obama. and then come back with a law to do what you want to do and have a better chance of getting it passed. >> yeah. >> bill: in early january. >> do republicans come along in early january? they'll still have a house majority. they'll still have the ability to block what democrats want to do then you'll have the debt ceiling come into play and the administration is going to need an increase in that in order to keep the government functioning and to stop another credit rating downgrade. so i'm not sure that this magical idea that you come back in january with a couple of more senators and a couple more members of the house and you know, you can get the deal you want that includes you know, the tax rates you that want
